The course aims to appreciate the contribution of economics to the understanding of the wider economic and social environment. It allows the students to use an enquiring and critical approach and to develop an ability to think as an economist.
A minimum of five GCSEs at Grade 6, with English and Maths at Grade 5 or above. We recommend a Grade 6, but will accept students with a Grade 5 in any subject to be studied at A-level (where the student has previously studied the subject) provided the other requirements are met. Equivalent vocational qualifications may be accepted. All full course Level 2 qualifications, including Applied GCSEs, of whatever size will count as one GCSE.
